Jake I am an de-horned large Oberpacker enthusiast. You are looking for a needle in a hay stack. You may consider a buck like this if his personality is right.
In the pictures below 2 of these boys have passed but we sure had a lot of fun.
Have you had experience with castrating a big goat like that after they have been through a couple breeding cycles? Can their aggressive temperament be toned down with the castration, and can they be trained well?
And by the way, one of your goats in the picture with the you and the several goats looks just like one of my favorite goats I used to have (they could be twins). He too has passed on, but it sure brought back some great memories!!
